December 1, 2013

Take a break from holiday hustle and bustle and enjoy the Jingle Bell Run and the First Mile with your family and friends!

Jingle Bell Run is a refreshing 3 mile run/walk through Wright Park at 1:30 pm on December 24. Pre-registration is $10 and includes chip timing and jingle bells. Sign up online at MetroParksTacoma.org/Races. Bring non-perishable food for St. Leo’s Food Bank or old running shoes for the Tacoma Rescue Mission.

The First Mile starts at 11 am on January 1 near the Point Defiance Marina. This flat, fast mile is free and open to all ages. Afterwards, take a leap into 2014 by participating in the Polar Bear Plunge, held at 11:30 am at the Point Defiance public boat launch. NO REGISTRATION NEEDED!
